US tried but failed to stop Pak terror: Mishra

Washington,Dec 11: India has said it has no complaints with regard to US efforts to persuade Pakistan to stop cross-border terrorism but made it clear that asking it to resume Indo-Pak dialogue despite continuing infiltration would amount to "double standards" on terrorism.
The US and other Governments have talked repeatedly to Islamabad to end infiltration of terrorists into Jammu and Kashmir and wind up the camps and infrastructure of militants but they failed, and India is not blaming Washington for the failure, National Security Adviser Brajesh Mishra told reporters on the talks he held with his US counterpart Condoleeza Rice, Secretary of State Colin Powell and other officials.
The Prinicpal Secretary to Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee said Washington had made "sincere efforts" to talk to Pakistan to end cross-border terrosim but their efforts in Islamabad "was not satisfactory from our point of view. So you have to make a distinction between these two."
"You have to look at it from two different angles. One is whether the US Administration and other governments did what they promised, namely to talk to Pakistan to end cross border terrorism. The answer is ofcourse they did. They did speak repeatedly to Islamabad to end infiltration, to wind up the camps and the infrastructure of the terrorists. So we cannot complain on that score," he told reporters today. Bureau Report
